My Summary
About Me
Ofsted registered childminder, in Woodston
**Bouncing Bunnies**
A place where playing is learning and learning is fun!
My name is Nicole, I've been in childcare for over 12 years (childminding 8 years)
I offer a home from home environment, which is safe, stimulating, and welcoming for all the children and parents!
Bouncing Bunnies offers lots of stimulating activities to fit all ages (0-12). While it's mostly child led play, some activities are planned and structured to each childs individual needs; based on their indavidual development!
One of childmindings biggest advantages is that we are able to take advantage and explore the outdoors! A great way to gain knowledge and experience with hands-on learning in the great outdoors!
We make the most of our local community
And we have great opportunities to socialise with other children ( groups, play dates, soft play days, ect) but also have the ability to have one to one being a smaller setting.
we create lots of learning opportunities through open-ended messy play!
We visit local farms, parks, nature reserves, museums, lakes, etc.

Nicole was simply amazing with my daughter over the 2 and a half years she was with her. She’s caring, loving and creates so much fun. They went on lots of days out and even on days they didn’t there were always activities set up. Her communication is great and even now my daughter has been at school for a year she has kept in touch and arranged meet ups with my daughter and her friends she was there with.
I wish we’d found her earlier so my eldest could have attended too.

Nicole was absolutely amazing in caring for my daughter for over three years, and I honestly don’t think I could ever put into words how grateful I am for everything she has done for my daughter and our family.
Leaving your little one for the first time is such a huge step, and I had so many worries and anxieties. Nicole made that transition so smooth and helped ease so many of my worries. From the very beginning, she kept me updated, listened to any concerns I had and always went above and beyond to reassure and support us. Knowing my daughter was in such a loving, nurturing and safe environment gave me a peace of mind that I will always be thankful for.
Nicole has always been incredibly helpful and supportive. When we were struggling with sleep, she was always there with advice, ideas and encouragement.
She has an amazing sensory corners and safe spaces where the children could go if they needed some quiet time, space to themselves or somewhere to regulate their emotions. She never made my daughter feel different or like she was a problem to be managed. Instead, she understood her, accepted her for who she was and helped her learn how to understand and manage her emotions in her own way.
Communication between Nicole and myself was fantastic. She always made sure we worked together and kept things consistent between home and the childminder setting, which made such a huge difference in helping my daughter feel secure and supported. I always felt listened to, and I knew we were working as a team to give my daughter the best possible support.
Nicole also played such a huge part in preparing my daughter for starting school. She helped develop her confidence, understanding, learning, communication and independence, but most importantly, she did all of this while allowing her to simply be a child — having fun, playing, exploring and feeling safe and heard.
Nicole so special is the genuine care she has for the children. She created a true home-from-home environment where my daughter felt safe, loved, understood and completely comfortable. She has been so much more than just a childminder to us.

Our boys have been with Nicole for 3 years and we couldn’t ask for a better childminder. She has supported and developed them over the years with all the activities and days out she plans. She provides a safe, fun and engaging setting and always keeps us up to date on what they’ve been doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, kind and friendly childminder!

Nicole has been a wonderful childminder to my two boys for a few years. They get on well with her two children, also. Always informs me how their day was. Can't fault her. 👍🏼🙂

Since we started with Nicole my daughter (21 months old) has grown so much in confidence. She's learning new words, songs and tricks every day. :) as a first time mum I know I can always get an advice from Nicole and she has helped us out a lot since I've gone back to work. Esme loves seeing Nicole, because she knows she will do different activities and see other kids every time. She is full of never ending ideas on how to keep Esmes little hands busy with different adventures. I am so glad we have found her!! :)
